13 The lazy person claims, "There's a lion on the road! Yes, I'm sure there's a lion out there!" 14 As a door swings back and forth on its hinges, so the lazy person turns over in bed. 15 Lazy people take food in their hand but don't even lift it to their mouth. 16 Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors.
